Being newbies as well my husband and I made the mistake of purchasing a RV that was too close to our towing capacity. We also put blocks on the rear tires and my husband was still a nervous wreck when towing, sure we got where we were going but he did not want to go too far, he was that nervous about it........Soultion purchase a new truck so that he did not have to be such a wreck (no pun intended) all the time. I figured life is way too short to be worrying about it, so a new truck solved the problem and we are living happily ever after I sometimes think my husband may have put it on a little thick so that a new truck seemed to be the only realisitic option. Afterall, not camping was completely out of the question Hope all continues to go well with your tow vehicle.
